The Damned United actor said his role in children’s film Tinker Bell And The Great Fairy Rescue was “a dream come true”.

He said: “There’s only one place to fly when you’ve got pixie dust on you and that’s over Victorian London’s rooftops, of course. I get to do that in this.”

The Welsh star admits part of the reason he made the movie was for his daughter Lily, from his relationship with actress Kate Beckinsale.

“I have a 12-year-old daughter and fairies have played a really important part in her life growing up,” he explained.

SUPERSTAR Tom Jones will be leading a dazzling roster of musicians to pay tribute to his close friend Elvis Presley.

The Pontypridd-born star, who hung out with Elvis at the height of his fame, will celebrate his music with Radio 2 Breakfast host Chris Evans and Priscilla Presley, in London’s Hyde Park tonight.

The line-up of this tribute to the King in the year that he would have turned 75 includes KT Tunstall, Scouting For Girls, Imelda May, Michael Ball, Tony Christie, Craig David, Tony Hadley and Marti Pellow.

GAVIN Henson says he’s got ex-girlfriend Charlotte Church to thank for taking part in new TV show 71 Degrees North.

The Welsh rugby star, who is also starring on Strictly Come Dancing, said his ex-partner persuaded him that the ITV1 show was a good idea, even though he wasn’t in his best physical shape.

He said: “I wouldn’t have done it if she didn’t want me to. But she was the one who pushed me to do it.

“I was in the worst shape I’d been in. But because of my athletic background, every day I got stronger. It kick-started me off for training again.”

GAVIN & Stacey creator Ruth Jones has confirmed that she is keen for the sitcom to return for a one-off special.

However, she admitted that plans for a new episode are still very vague.

Speaking after this week’s TV Choice Awards, she told us: “We haven’t ruled out doing a special at some point in the future, but we’re not doing one this Christmas. A lot of it is to do with logistics.

“We drew a line under it when we finished the last series and then you become a bit wary about bringing it back to life. But I am amazed, daily, about how many people I meet and they say, ‘Please can you bring it back.’ And I’m hugely touched by that.”
